Ethereum’s 2026 Upgrades: Glamsterdam and Hegota to Reshape the Network

Ethereum is making significant strides with major upgrades slated for 2026, starting with the Glamsterdam upgrade in the first half of the year, followed by the Hegota launch later in 2026. Glamsterdam is made to be compatible with both MEV fairness and improved censorship resistance, with some additions like Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) and Block-Level Access Lists.

These upgrades will allow improving access and scalability of the state. The Hegota update will introduce more advanced changes after the Glamsterdam, which include the use of Verkle Trees.

The developers working on Ethereum are working on partial cell proofs in anticipation of these updates, which will enable the mainnet to store more blobs. The testing is in progress on the blob-devnet-0 network, however, Prysm and Lighthouse clients have certain problems.

On February 4, the bals-devnet-2 project in Glamsterdam will have its debut and, in the end of February, the epbs-devnet-0 test network is planned to be launched, with the current consensus specifications.

Ethereum Price Struggles to Hold Support: Is a Reversal Likely?

The latest ETH price hovered at $1,923 as of February 11, 2026, marking a drop of 1.53%. The price is at the key levels of support, and it may start to go up or still down in case the support is broken.

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is already standing at 35, indicating that the market is nearing oversold. The fact that the RSI is at a position that is lower than the neutral 50 line implies that the pressure remains downwards.

The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is experiencing a negative momentum. The MACD line of -27.69 is a long way away with the signal line of and much lower the zero line, which once again proves the bearish outlook. Based on this technical analysis, key future Ethereum outlook levels to watch are the support at $1,900. If this level fails, there could be a potential drop to $1,850. On the positive side, the resistance around the $2,000 level can be a problem in case the price tries to recover.
